Excerpt - Where the alleged ransomware attack takes an interesting turn is with the suggestion that the attack vector was via a vulnerability in software from Accellion Inc., a Palo Alto-based private cloud solutions company focused on secure file sharing and collaboration. Accellion software was linked to a data breach in which 1.4 million unemployment records were stolen from the Office of the Washington State Auditor Feb. 2. It’s also believed to be the attack vector involved in the recent hacks of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and the Australian Securities and Investment Commission.
